North Korea held a massive celebration honoring its nuclear scientists in the wake of the recent successful test of its largest bomb to date, AFP reported.
A convoy of buses carrying the scientists paraded through a cheering crowd in Pyongyang, where citizens lining the streets threw rice and balloons at them, and a large celebratory fireworks show was held.
North Korea's increasing belligerency has led to spiraling tensions with the West, especially after the most recent test which reportedly was the largest detonation to date.
While experts continue to say that there is no military solution to the conflict with North Korea without leading to a massive amount of civilian deaths, the US Navy's Elite SEAL Team 6 are allegedly planning assassination missions to take out North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
According to the Sunday Times, SEAL commandos have been setting up a special cell dedicated solely to the assassination of the North Korean head in the event of war. Comprised of a joint US-South Korean task force, the team is scheduled to become operational in December.
